The
Mission of the Jessica Jennifer Cohen Foundation (JJCF) is to promote
and carry out the kind of good works and deeds that Jessica Jennifer Cohen
would have favored. The Foundation provides charitable assistance consistent with IRS § 501(c)(3), particularly to
benefit talented young adults, to enable them to perform community service.

Jessica Jennifer was a bright, energetic young woman, deeply committed
to finding ways to benefit individuals and society. Through her studies
at Duke University and affiliations and efforts with various charitable
entities, Jessica Jennifer studied public policy and strove to improve
community services, the lives of women and children, and programs to foster
healthy, happy, functional families. She deeply loved and respected her
friends and the generation of concerned young people they represent. Had
Jessica Jennifer lived longer, she would have done much more to encourage
their efforts to make life better for others, as well as pursuing her
own. Jessica Jennifer was diagnosed with a brain tumor at age 23, and
died just after her 25th birthday.

"When we remember as long as we live, she will too, for those we knew
and loved are part of us. And as we remember, her love for us and our
love for her give much more than death ever can take away." [Author Unknown]
